  • As far as Universes Beyond goes I’ve seen a pretty positive result on the people I play with.

    One of my friends who stopped playing after he had his collection stolen a number of years ago started to play again after I gave him a tyranid deck.

    One of my friends from work got really into deck building and has been active since lotr and fallout sets. He is also super into Marvel, so he is looking forward to the upcoming sets. My play group at work are also much more proxy friendly after the 30th anniversary proxies set, so I made him a proxy of Kelsien, the Plague themed as Gambit.

    Another friend from work has started to play physical magic since getting the Riders of Rohan deck.

    And the person I play magic with the most has been building themed decks around pop culture or stories we want to tell for years with me.

    I was pretty skeptical of UB before, but I am now more concerned with poor game balance and half baked original stories from WOTC.

    My gnome warlock got their power from getting married to a fae lord after a drunken night of revelry. Their pact was the divorce settlement and their familiar was their lawyer.

    It is so fun to play the straight person around random bedlam.


  • I’d love to see them run some more niche RPGs like Lancer or Mutant Year Zero. I know Erika talked about running Honey Heist on the world’s beyond number podcast, so I’m hoping this changes more over time.

    Not sure if you got me mixed up with someone else or if you are referencing a post I made about a month ago on a trans community about my wife. She is doing better, but still not able to drive on the highway yet.

    All calm on the sibling front. My oldest brother is considering proposing to his girlfriend sometime this winter.

    This is such a well designed commander for the deck. Caring about playing multi type cards enabled delirium, but also all scarecrows are artifact creatures.

    Green is very well setup to be able to clear the skies or a use board states with flyers, and black can wipe small creatures and tokens without issues.

    There are 16 rooms cards in the set so far. If you get Central Elevator you can tutor room cards, and you can use her to reset that room for repeat searches. Promising Staircase is also an alt win con for her that comes attached to your tutor engine and lets you better set her up for an ETB trigger through surveil 1 on upkeeps.

    First tutor would likely be Bottomless Pool so you could pay {U} to bounce her to hand, recast her to refill your hand, and then following turns to reset a bounce engine.
